is the spout hard plastic or is it soft like the bottle nipples?

It is quite firm, but with a rubberized coating. It is firm enough that it would be good for a teething child because it will give resistance and will not fall apart immediately.

While the spout is not soft like a bottle nipple, it is not hard plastic either. It is more of a rubbery texture or firmness. My boys seemed to really like it especially during teething as it provided some pressure to their gums but wasn't unforgiving like a hard plastic would be.

The spout is plastic, the seal is either rubber or silicone but they are flexible for a snug fit in the bottle.

This bottle is a soft flexible plastic. It has been left in heat and dropped and still looks brand new worth no damage

Hard plastic. It is not like a nipple top for babies just learning, it's hard. My son started it at 9 months and is now 14 months and it's the only kind of cup we use because they don't leak!

Pura bottles are entirely stainless (no aluminum) classified as: food-grade, #304, or 18/8 (all different classifications/lables for the same material). There is no liner and no plastic. The spout and/or nipple and caps are made of silicone and the cap ring is also stainless steel. You can read more on the manufacturer's website: purastainless.com. These bottles are wonderful--they hold up very well to wear and tear (although the color coating may eventually scratch, but NOT peel). The bottle is compatible with both the sippy cup spouts and regular bottle nipples, which really eases the trasition from bottle to cup. They will, naturally, conduct heat or cold, so if your little one has sensitive fingers and likes his/her milk warmed or cooled, I'd reccomend the silicone sleeves that are available.

I think its pretty hard. I have noticed a few scratches around the spout after numerous times through the dishwasher, but I still think it holds up pretty well against kids biting on it.

The spout itself is metal. The hose that connects it is reinforced, flexible vinyl, plastic or whatever.

I have not had any problems with this yet. I wasnt happy with the plastic spout, but it has held up nicely. We use it daily.

The outside (shell) of the spout is hard plastic. The inner valve is either silicone or plastic - not sure which.

yes, it is a hard spout. At first the werer ok, but now it started to leak if left lying on a side or up side down.

This has a hard spout. My son just turned 2 and the only draw back I see so far is that he's a "chewer" and he chews the hard plastic spout. Otherwise, great cup!

We used it as a transition from the bottle to a sippy cup. It is the same as the 5 oz NUK bottles with a soft spout sippy cup nipple. My daughter started using it and figuring it out around 8 months, but could easily go younger. We used the handles with a bottle nipple at first. We love these.

Being a mom that has this bottle. It is plastic and I bought the bigger bottle for my baby because you will need it eventually anyway. Just make sure when ordering that it is the slow flow nipple. Just like mommas breast, this bottle is awesome because your baby will control the flow speed just like during let down :) hope this helps

Yes it's a hard plastic but not as hard as a nalgene bottle. It has a little give if you squeeze hard enough.

The bottles I got weren't hard. They're normal soft gels, just a little squishy.

It's a hard plastic spout, not like some of the softer spouts I've seen out there (like Playtex First Sipster Spill-Proof Cup). I also thought the spout on this was too small and short, so that my 15 month old daughter has to work extra hard to get liquid out of there. I would go with the Playtex First Sipster that has handles and a softer spout.
